Daily forecasts for August 2015 written by Rob Tillett.
Click here for Moonbeam's Month in Brief.

Wed Aug 1:
Brainwaves

Your mind is racing, filled with a whole host of different ideas.
Keeping track of them will be about as easy as catching all the seeds
from a dandelion, but write down as many of your brainwaves as possible
without censoring them first. This isn't the right day to evaluate your
thoughts because you've got your work cut out trying to capture and
record them all.
Ideal colors are mango and ivory.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 37.

Thu Aug 2:
Full Moon

Cancer is Moon-ruled, so the Full Moon is always a doozy. Your
partner could take you by surprise, perhaps by making a financial
suggestion that you can barely credit or by doing something that makes
you see the relationship in a new light. Although there could be some
shock value in this, it will also help to liven up the day and give you
something to think about. And you may decide that you like what they're
suggesting, after all.
Beneficial colors are golden honey and black.
Lucky numbers are 14 and 57.

Fri Aug 3:
Logical Approach

Any form of study will go well today because your powers of
concentration have returned with a vengeance and your mind is behaving
itself once again. You'll also take pleasure from gathering new facts
or doing some research, and the results will be great if you can take a
systematic and logical approach to what you're doing.
Auspicious colors are caramel and violet.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 60.

Sat Aug 4:
Romantic Thoughts

It's easy to be carried away by romantic thoughts today, but
the trouble is that they may have very little bearing on what's really
happening. For instance, you might indulge yourself in a delicious
reverie about you-know-who, neatly forgetting that what you're
imagining is unlikely ever to take place. Fantasy is one thing but
don't confuse it with the facts.
Favourable colors are lemon and navy.
Lucky numbers are 27 and 32.

Sun Aug 5:
Expert Advice

If you're trying to sort out a financial problem, don't
hesitate to ask for expert advice. This might be your accountant or
financial adviser, someone in your local bank or building society, or a
friend whose opinion you respect. On the other hand, you may be the one
who's doling out the advice, in which case you'll do your utmost to be as
fair and sensible as possible.
Fortunate colors are fire engine red and silver.
Lucky numbers are 7 and 9.

Mon Aug 6:
What On Earth?

If you usually pride yourself on having both feet on the ground
you'll wonder what on earth is going on. You might be in a very
escapist mood or you may struggle to grasp what's happening, especially
where financial matters are concerned. This isn't the best day for
reaching decisions because you're in two minds about many things. You may
also be undermined by others.
Ideal colors are pale pink and dark grey.
Lucky numbers are 16 and 11.

Tue Aug 7:
Treat Yourself

Between now and early September you'll jump at the chance to
pamper yourself with Venus in your sign. And you'll want to do it as
often as possible! If you're still toying with the idea of changing
your image in some way, it will be almost impossible to resist it this
August. So treat yourself to some clothes, a change of hairstyle, some
flattering make-up or anything else that appeals.
Inspirational colors are lime and pineapple.
Lucky numbers are 26 and 48.

Wed Aug 8:
True Friend

A friend proves a staunch supporter today, much to your delight.
As Mercury turns direct in your house of personal finances, things
begin to head back on track. You might also benefit from a buddy's
feedback, when they draw your attention to the facts but stop short of
telling you exactly what to do.
Prosperous colors are treacle and aqua.
Lucky numbers are 32 and 8.

Thu Aug 9:
Hot And Bothered

Is something bugging you? It certainly seems that way, because
you're feeling hot and bothered. You've also got a tendency to latch on
to tiny details as though they were utterly essential, and then to pursue
them doggedly. For instance, you might put someone through some
rigorous questioning because you aren't quite sure what they're talking about.
Ideal colors are burgundy and dark gold.
Lucky numbers are 10 and 59.

Fri Aug 10:
Just Say It

The next few weeks are great for putting as much effort into your
communications as possible. If you've got something to say, this will
definitely be the time to say it, especially if it requires courage.
However, will you know when to be quiet? There's a chance that you
might say too much at times, or come across as too aggressive and
demanding. So take care!
Harmonious colors are peach and cream.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 44.

Sat Aug 11:
Sensitive Crabs

Your feelings are close to the surface today, making you
sensitive to what's going on around you. It's difficult to preserve a
cool, calm and collected image if something ruffles you, because it
will show on your face and in your behavior. There's nothing wrong with
that, but try not to overreact when dealing with things that don't
merit such a fuss.
Uplifting colors are crimson and white.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 43.

Sun Aug 12:
Repairs And Replacements

Can you improve your working environment, making it more
comfortable or attractive? Scrutinize it as much as possible today,
taking note of any changes that can be easily made as well as those
that will require more thought or trouble. If you work from home, you
might want to repair or replace any appliance that has been playing up or
has outlived its usefulness.
Beneficial colors are sapphire blue and emerald green.
Lucky numbers are 28 and 7.

Mon Aug 13:
Expect The Unexpected

Anything could happen today, so be prepared! You might meet
someone who has an electrifying effect on you, even if they aren't your
usual type. You might only have a mad flirtation with each other, or this
could be the start of a long-term relationship that will teach you
exciting things about yourself and introduce you to a world that you
never knew existed.
Beneficial colors are rose pink and bronze.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 72.

Tue Aug 14:
Home Environment

You'll be happiest if you can stay in a familiar environment
today, such as your own neighborhood. You'll enjoy chatting to the people
you meet along the way, such as the person standing next to you in the
supermarket queue or a fellow passenger on the bus. If you've got the
time you'll enjoy catching up with your reading.
Ideal colors are lilac and silvery blue.
Lucky numbers are 26 and 62.

Wed Aug 15:
New Moon

How are your finances holding up? Are you feeling comfortably off
at the moment or are you wondering how to make your money last until
the end of the month? If you've barely got two pennies to rub together,
take advantage of today's New Moon to do something about it. Maybe it's
time to ask for help, or perhaps you simply need to adopt a much
tougher fiscal strategy, and then stick to it?
Prosperous colors are silver and tan.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 11.

Thu Aug 16:
Pamper Yourself

Concentrate on your priorities in life today, because they'll
make you feel good. They will also remind you that there is more to
life than hard grind and problems. After all, you've had a very difficult
couple of months and you're overdue for some light relief. Pamper
yourself in some way and your cares will vanish for the time being at least.
Fortunate colors are violet and dark pink.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 19.

Fri Aug 17:
Practical Approach

You're blessed with a very practical approach to life today,
particularly when it comes to anything connected with your home or
finances. And if you can combine the two in some way then you'll really
strike it lucky. If you're currently involved in a property deal,
things will go in your favor and you might even end up much better off.
Beneficial colors are pale blue and apricot.
Lucky numbers are 12 and 14.

Sat Aug 18:
Opinions To Yourself

Someone seems determined to go their own way today and there
doesn't seem to be much you can do about it. Actually, the more you try
to persuade them against taking their current approach the keener they
will be to prove their point. This means that even if you think this
person is making a grave mistake, you'd be wise to keep your opinions
to yourself for the time being.
Auspicious colors are violet and platinum.
Lucky numbers are 29 and 45.

Sun Aug 19:
Change Of Scene

Some people are being wayward, awkward and laws unto
themselves. Today you've got to listen to someone spouting complete
drivel. The trouble is that they don't want to know what you think, and
may even be quite rude about it. To save your sanity, give yourself a
complete change of scene until you've both calmed down.
Inspirational colors are charcoal grey and mustard yellow.
Lucky numbers are 27 and 75.

Mon Aug 20:
Low-Key Atmosphere

Your domestic life leaves something to be desired today, thanks
to the low-key atmosphere. Maybe someone is feeling depressed,
affecting the mood of everyone they meet, or perhaps you're the one
down in the dumps. Either way, you won't help the situation by brooding
on it, feeling sorry for yourself or taking out your feelings on
whoever happens to be around.
Empowering colors are pale gold and lavender.
Lucky numbers are 8 and 46.

Tue Aug 21:
Better Mood

It's time to cheer yourself up, dear Cancer. A little retail
therapy won't go amiss. You'll especially enjoy looking for items that
will brighten up your home or turn your kitchen into a 21st-century
temple of efficiency. If you're feeling broke at the moment, you'll
have to restrict yourself to snapping up bargains at the grocers or the
supermarket. Oh well!
Ideal colors are bronze and mother of pearl.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 11.

Wed Aug 22:
House Of Communications

Now you'll enjoy improving the way you communicate with others,
as the blazing Sun dives into Virgo and your third house of
communications and creativity. Why not invest in a new program or upgrade
your computer, boost your mobile phone or simply treat yourself to some
writing paper and a book of stamps. Take more trouble with the way you
express yourself, especially if you sometimes give people the wrong
impression.
Beneficial colors are bright blue and aubergine.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 11.

Thu Aug 23:
Power Of Pleasure

As Mars strides into Scorpio, you need little urging to put a lot
of effort and enthusiasm into speculative ventures, social events, and
activities related to entertainment or a vacation. Creative juices flow
during this time, but there is no telling exactly how or where you will
direct them. Romantic notions are apt to be physically carried out.
Inspiration and imagination spark artistic endeavors. Children will be
a riot, so don't lose your temper.
Favorable colors are dark red and lavender.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 5.

Fri Aug 24:
Big Heart

If you're a typical Cancerian you have a very big heart and
it's much in evidence today. You might decide to tuck someone under
your wing or give them a hug because you know they're going through a bad
time. You're also prepared to listen to the tale of woe without taking
sides or giving unsolicited advice. Someone will be everlastingly
grateful to you.
Fortunate colors are royal blue and spanish leather.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 27.

Sat Aug 25:
All Dressed Up

Ideally, you should get all dressed up and then head for the
nearest social event because that's exactly what you're in the mood for
today. You're feeling very convivial and outgoing, whether you're with
people that you know like the back of your hand or total strangers. If
you've recently moved house, you might meet one of your new neighbors and
quickly turn them into a friend.
Creative colors are spring green and copper.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 36.

Sun Aug 26:
On Your Mind

A certain person is never far from your thoughts today, and after
a while you'll long to see them. If they live a long way away, you'll
have a tendency to dream about them or to look through old photos so
you can see their face. If they're close by, you'll want to get
together with them and could get quite huffy if they aren't available
or they've got other fish to fry. Take it easy!
Fortunate colors are jade and amber.
Lucky numbers are 29 and 9.

Mon Aug 27:
The Spice Of Life

Plenty of variety is needed today, otherwise life will start to
take on a stale and sluggish quality. If this happens you'll do almost
anything to liven things up, which might mean stirring up trouble. It
would be better to skip your usual routine and take in a change of scene,
preferably involving some exercise so you can burn up any excess
nervous energy.
Ideal colors are champagne and dusky pink.
Lucky numbers are 15 and 8.

Tue Aug 28:
Cancerian Intuition

Your Cancerian intuition is working well today, particularly when
thinking about a close partner. You might instinctively know that they're
about to phone you, or you have such an intense dream about them that you
can't stop thinking about them when you wake up. It's a day for following
your gut feelings and you may be getting a strong hunch about this person.
Beneficial colors are dark grey and ultramarine.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 16.

Wed Aug 29:
At Your Peril

The atmosphere is rather fraught today. The vexed questions of
money and sex are especially likely to make the fur fly, so mention
them at your peril. If you aren't the one who wants to pick a fight it
will be your other half, and they'll be like a terrier with a bone. Do
you honestly have the energy for it?
Favorable colors are peach and turquoise.
Lucky numbers are 29 and 71.

Thu Aug 30:
Truly Creative Mode

The Moon's node moves to Scorpio, your house of fun and
romance. A major new phase lasting for some 18 months, this awakens a
serious attraction and can see you in a truly creative mode. You'll
feel the urge to take a chance, but if it looks too good to be true, it
probably is. You'll have a great time with family, friends and
children. taking special interest in entertainment, sports and exchanging
jokes. More on the Moon's Nodes.
Ideal colors are banana and ebony.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 34.

Fri Aug 31:
Full Moon

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so a romantic opportunity is there
for eligible Crabs. Also the next two weeks will present you with some
interesting problems concerning your morals and beliefs. You'll be
faced with a difficult question that can't be resolved as easily as you
might at first imagine, and you may even have to do some soul-searching
before you can come up with a satisfactory solution.
Fortunate colors are pumpkin and plum.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 23.
